My Wife is a Sassy Queen

There was no humor in Mariana’s laughter.

“James, it’s just you and me here. Can we stop pretending? Have you not humiliated me enough? When is it going to be enough so you can stop your revenge?” She asked in extreme frustration and agony.

“Is that what you think?” James was surprised.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He admitted that he pestered her to have his revenge for their encounter abroad.

But after getting to know her he just wanted to spend more time with her and tease her. He had long forgotten about revenge.

They were sort of friends, and they had spent a lot of time together in the last few months. Especially in the last 3 weeks, they had been so close.

No matter how they had started, he thought they had formed a bond. But clearly, he was wrong.

“Is that not true? Do you like me? Are we dating? Is there anything going on between the two of us?” Mariana asked.

James could not answer her. His feelings were unclear and he did not know what to say since Mariana was practically crying now.

“Did you forcibly kiss me before kissing your first love in the next second right before me to show me how much you care about me? I have never been this humiliated in my entire life, and to think it was out of anger and you were sorry. I must be an idiot. Congratulations, James, you have succeeded in making me feel like a tramp.”

Mariana laughed, belittling herself to the extreme.

She had managed to pull away when he was in trance and left.

James came back to his senses only to see a sad figure making her way to the bathroom again.

Mariana wanted to lock herself in one of the stalls and cry, but luck was against her and she did not even get that luxury.

Alice was reapplying her lipstick in the bathroom when she opened it, and a wave of nausea came over.

She ignored Alice’s mocking gaze and rushed inside a stall before she started puking.

She barely managed to get up and go to the washbasin but was stunned to see red marks all over her body.

“Shit!” She exclaimed realizing that her allergic reaction had started.

She was only allergic to saffron and could not think of anything that she had eaten that day that included saffron.

Another wave of nausea hit her and she rushed back to the washroom again.

Alice watched her with disgust clear in her eyes.

When Mariana entered the stall she had not locked it since she was feeling weak and dizzy already.

She did not realize when Alice locked it from the inside and added an “Under repair, Dirty!” signboard outside her stall.

Alice smiled and walked away.

She found James pacing back and forth outside a private box.

She walked up to him and said, “Waiting for that bimbo!”

“Shut up!” James glared at her.

Alice shrugged and said, “She left with a bulky man.” before walking away.

James was stunned.

He wanted to laugh at his naivety but controlled himself.

‘I was waiting for her like a fool. And she left with another man already. It must be Liam. Did she call him over on the balcony right after he had kissed her?’

James could not feel but mock himself for feeling bad about her.

‘She is just a bitch! I was not wrong about her when I met her abroad.’

‘How naive of me to be fooled by her pitiful face?’

He went to the bar and started drinking.

Inside the locked stall, Mariana barely had any strength left.

She feebly knocked on the door but it barely made any noise.

She tried to call for help but her tongue was swollen and she was vomiting continuously.

She managed to press her speed dial and call Liam.

But passed out before the phone connected.

After drinking for a while James called Mariana again.

‘Maybe Alice is lying.’ He thought and called her.

But she did not pick up. ‘What an idiot!’ He thought and tossed his phone aside.

Half an hour later, he saw Liam rushing inside with a worried look on his face.

Liam called the manager and asked him to get him some surveillance videos.

‘Did he want to erase the videos of me and Mariana kissing?’ James thought scornfully.

He downed another glass, but looking at Liam who sped off right after talking to the manager, he was curious and followed.

Liam had received a call from Mariana but he only heard labored breathing.

Worried about her, he located her phone and saw that she was still in Pits.

Afraid that she might have been drugged or worse, he hastily made his way to her and asked the manager to get him all the surveillance videos of the last hour.

Then he followed the location pin and was surprised to find it led to the bathroom.

He followed inside and found her inside a locked stall.

Someone had intentionally locked her inside.

He picked her up and she smelled terribly of vomit, moreover, she was breathing with great difficulty.

He took a good look at her and saw her allergic reaction.

He called Henry and asked him to get ready for her.

Mariana’s severe allergic reaction was not unknown to any of them.

Around two years ago, she had obliged Kyle and ate a sweet he gave her knowing that it had saffron.

After eating it and praising him, she pulled Henry away and told him to treat her.
